The Grand Opening

[driftingmods]

[A large WELCOME sign is hanging from the buildings when you walk into Levanta Town, but that seems to be the only sign that today is any different than any other day. The villagers are simply going about their daily business. However, if they are approached they are more than happy to explain the region as well as they can to any new arrivals.

Welcome to Levanta Town in The Drifting Land!]

[This is ADVENTURE and Ruby is six! He's decided that since you appear to be closer to his age, you can be trusted to get directions from; little does he know that you're just as lost as he is. He waves at Grimsley to catch his attention.]

Hey! Do you know which way to go to get to the edge of this place?

[fated_fall]

[...Kids. Grimsley turns so he's looking straight at him.]
No.
[Simple as that.]
Why would I? Who knows what lays out there.

[brbsalamence]

[No? :(]

Well someone has to have been out there...

[fated_fall]

Those people [gesturing in the direction of the town] don't seem to know what's outside - and I don't want to be the one to find out.
[Unless it un-kidnaps him, of course.]

[brbsalamence]

Well if no one knows what's out there, how do they know we're in the sky? Someone had to'a seen the edge sometime! I'll try and find it only with my pokemon if I have to. [Comon' man don't be such a party pooper!]

[fated_fall]

You have Pokemon? [Really. Little kids can have Pokemon now? They're probably weak things.]

[brbsalamence]

[Well in his universe they can!]

Of course I do! I wouldn't be much of a trainer if I didn't have pokemon. [Duh. He rolls his eyes]

[fated_fall]

What sort?
[Of course, Grimsley just wants to show off now. He's a jerk.]

[brbsalamence]

Well... [He pauses. The fact that Grimsley is unfazed by his eyeroll mocking stunned him for a moment.]

Coco is a normal type, Ruru is a psychic type, and Nana is a dark type.

[fated_fall]

[He has a dark-type. And, of course, dark-types are the only ones which matter.]
I'm glad you at least have one good one. But I bet mine are better.

[brbsalamence]

[Crossing his arms!]

"One good one"? All of my pokemon are strong, and I bet mine are stronger than yours!

[fated_fall]

Why don't we battle, then? [smugsmugsmug]

[brbsalamence]

[Get that smug out of here. It's only cool when I do it.]

Okay, I accept your challenge! C'mon Coco!

[SUP I AM THE FIERCEST SKITTY.]

[fated_fall]

[...A Skitty - a Hoenn Pokemon. But it looked pretty weak as compared to his murderbeast.]
Hydreigon, Focus Blast.
[And it does just that.]

OOC I'm going to be using RNG for attack accuracies and such jsyk

[brbsalamence]

Nyaaaaaaa! [Annnnd that's a clean hit! But Coco remarkably still has enough HP to slowly stand herself back up. This little Skitty is tougher than she looks.]

Coco, put it to sleep with Sing!

[Just like Grimsley, Ruby isn't very familiar with foreign pokemon like Hydreigon yet, but if that attack was any indication: it's really strong. He can't risk another attack like that.]

me too :o

[fated_fall]

[Sing, huh. Hydreigon suddenly soared high into the sky, so she didn't have to listen to that song. Grimsley grinned - a clear miss.]
Now! Dark Pulse!
[And then darkness was fired.]

[brbsalamence]

[Ah, but distancing yourself through flight also means there's that much more distance for him to counter before impact, even if it is inevitable.]

Assist!

[... There's a abrupt, but menacing sounding roar (well, for a cat anyway) that sounds from Coco before it's cut off by the pulse-wave knocking her down, and this time she doesn't get up.]


Coco! [He rushes over to her side and strokes her reassuringly.] S'okay, Coco. You did really good even though we didn't win this round... [Returning her to her ball dodododo- He turns his attention to Grimsley.]

I've never seen a pokemon like Hydreigon before...

[fated_fall]

[Grimsley smirked.] Of course you haven't. Only the best trainers in Unova have even seen one.

[brbsalamence]

[He scrunches up his face in confusion.]

U-nova? [I am a tiny gen III protag. What is this sorcery you speak of?]

[fated_fall]

Yes, Unova. [...] It's a region. [Which may or may not have existed in your time.] Where are you from?

[brbsalamence]

I'm from Johto. [Thinking face] and Kanto and Hoenn are the only other regions I've heard of before now... Are you sure you aren't making that up?

[fated_fall]

Of course not. Are you really that uneducated?
